A demo for Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days launched today for the Xbox 360. How do you get access to the exclusive demo? Well, there are a few hoops you need to jump through first. First, let's describe whats in the demo itself.
Now, it is possible to gain access to the beta a few ways. One, sign up for a chance to get into the demo at the official Kane & Lynch website. Second, there is a method of simply sending a text to "72579" from your cell phone with the word "dogdays" in the body. That's how I and many others obtained a key and may still work. Keep in mind that typical text messaging charges will apply as with all things cell phone related.
No method is guaranteed, though. There will be an open beta released closer to the game's launch.
The exclusive demo features...
- A brief look at the brutal single-player Story Mode
- Ability to sharpen heist skills in new Arcade Mode
- All-encompassing access to the highly anticipated Multiplayer modes:
-- Fragile Alliance - up to eight players - celebrated multiplayer experience based on Greed, Betrayal & Revenge, extended with more risk and more rewards. Work together as a team to escape with as much loot as possible, within a four minute time period. Players will need to move fast, if they decide to turn on the team and make off with the money on their own. Die and respawn as a cop to prevent the heist.
-- Undercover Cop - up to eight players - adds an extra level of paranoia to Fragile Alliance as teams are infiltrated by a mole set to stop the alliance.
-- Cops & Robbers - up to 12 players - Creates a new team-mode dynamic with Robbers trying to protect their loot and Cops trying to retrieve it.
